Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his latest Mann Ki Baat episode, expressed “deep agony” over the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, and reiterated that the perpetrators and conspirators “will be served with the harshest response”. “The solidarity of 1.4 billion Indians in the fight against terrorism is our biggest strength. We, as a nation, must demonstrate strong will power,” he said on Sunday.
PM Modi during his address in Mann ki Baat said, ‘There is a deep pain in my heart. The terrorist incident in Pahalgam on 22 April has hurt every citizen of the country. Every Indian has deep sympathy for the victim’s families. No matter which state he belongs to, which language he speaks, he is feeling the pain of those who have lost their family members in this attack.’
He said, ‘I know that every Indian’s blood is boiling after seeing the pictures of the terrorist attack. The attack in Pahalgam shows the desperation of those who support terrorism. It shows their cowardice.’
PM Modi said, ‘At a time when peace was returning to Kashmir, the atmosphere in schools and colleges was improving. Democracy was getting stronger, the number of tourists was increasing at a record pace, the enemies of the country and Jammu and Kashmir did not like this.’
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the investigation of the Pahalgam attack from the J&K police, upon directions of the Union Home Ministry. From questioning eyewitnesses to combing entry-exit points, the NIA teams, which have been camping at the terror attack site since Wednesday, have intensified the search for evidence. Meanwhile, Pakistani military troops opened ‘unprovoked fire’ along the Line of Control (LoC) for the third straight night. Indian Army soldiers “responded effectively with appropriate small arms fire,” officials said.
